Off the radar - in depth article from theage.com.au

None would turn many heads even in Rundle Street mall.

I beg to differ

Surprisingly good article though

Apart from the exclusion of Rutten, I didn't think the line was so bad.

I'd tend to agree. One of Adelaide's strengths is its consistency across the playing group. If you can use a 'raffle' to put the players in order of skill/impact/value, then you would be hard pressed to work out who to try and stop to upset the Crow's game plan. I thought the only possibly offensive comment was the suggestion that the Crows don't set out to score. That their gameplan is to stop the opposition and just see what happens on the counter attack. Given how much work we have done on our forward line, in terms of trying players, structures and gameplans, I reckon we do place a good deal of focus on attack. But who cares if opposition coaching staff don't understand our gameplan or method? Seems to me to be all the better for us!

Excellent article. Craig has installed an excellent system that will win us more games then we lose. However, it still remains to be seen whether it is a system that can win Grand Finals. For me, you still need alot of class to win the big mama.
